[from Tracy Harms (990226.0915)]
Having hastily composed my message of the last hour, it occurred to me
after transmitting it that I reversed the standard phrase. I should
have written:
You cannot derive an 'ought' from an 'is'.
Which, again, is to say that moral and ethical claims cannot be
logically produced from purely descriptive claims, no matter how
accurate the descriptions.
I apologize for missing this in my proofreading of the original.
